Description: Jessica Burke is the 19 year old (as of the summer of 2016) daughter of Mastersmith Bill Burke. In the last couple of years, Jessica has begun making knives under the watchful supervision of her master smith father. The results have been absolutely amazing!
This high performance utility knife is perfect for slicing fruits, vegetables, and meats. The thin blade produces a very clean, even cut without bruising the food being sliced.
The 5160 carbon steel blade was forged to shape by Jessica. Carbon steel ensures a keen, long lasting edge. Because it can oxidize or rust, we recommend applying camellia oil after washing and drying.
The handle is formed from macassar ebony. The front ferrule is formed from pakkawood. The rear ferrule is black sheep horn. The traditional octagonal hand is very comfortable for extended use.
The knife has perfect balance and this ensures it is as much of a joy to use as it is to look at!
